These are the best athletic shoes I've ever worn!
The fit: my ankle stays back, the insoles are insanely cushioning, the toebox is wide enough that my long toes are smashed together.
The upper mesh is great so my feet stay cool and the leather? is soft and supportive.
At the end of a point as I'm walking back to the baseline I catch myself thinking "Wow, these shoes are so comfortable"!
Not everyone will understand, but when you're searching for the perfect shoe that gives you an edge, gives you comfort, and can handle wear and tear, this is the shoe.
A little bit about me: I'm 57 years old, 340 pounds, and I play pickleball an average of five to six times a week. Thanks to my Apple Watch (lol), I know I'm logging around two hours a night of consistent play. Coming home with that much impact and pain in my ankles and metatarsals can be discouraging, especially if I want to get back out there the next day.
Intense recovery is the only way I can keep going, with foot massages, stretching, and different exercises. But I'm always searching for the perfect shoe. And I've tried them all. My last pair, what I thought would be the best, were just basic Nike court shoes. Decent, but not good enough. I tried so many different types of shoes. None worked. I mean, I could play, but the foot pain at my weight and age was tough.
Then, scrolling through Instagram a few days ago, I saw a shoe designed specifically for pickleball. I thought, okay, I'll try it. They arrived today. Right out of the box, I could tell they were different, and I was excited. As I walked to the car and packed my equipment, I felt the difference.
At my first game, I felt light on my feet. I only played about an hour and a half tonight because I got a late start. But I cannot wait to get back out there. I'm still in recovery from the past three days with bad shoes, but now that I have these great shoes, I'm ready to hit the court again.
Amazing job. I've already ordered my second pair after just one wear. I'm seriously considering taking all the other shoes that are no use to me to Goodwill.
Thanks a bunch.
I have been singing the praises of your fantastic shoes to all my pickleball friends. The shoes are the first to actually feel like a piece of technological equipment rather than a pair of sneakers.
I have played tennis for over 55 years and pickleball for the last 8 years and can honestly say that you have a winner with the Desi Low. I am impressed with how stable my feet are now. The way that my heel locks in and the insert that prevents my feet from slipping when I make quick stops and starts is truly a game changer for me. Even my shoe strings are fantastic. The strings stay tied throughout my day of playing. Besides all of the tech that went in to make this a top tier pickleball shoe, they are extremely good looking and I have gotten many compliments on their style. You’ve got a winner with the Desi Low, congratulations.
Best pickleball shoe on the market. Got these today and played 3 hours of pickleball, no feet pain. It diesnt even feel like i played. The cushioning in this shoe and support around the anckle and achiles is phenomenal. You can cut hard laterally with all the confidence in the world. The sole comes already with sticky traction which incredible because my feet didn’t slide the OC hard court shoes i have. DAPSFIT YOU HAVE A CUSTOMER FOR LIFE. This shoe superseded all expectations!!!!
I play pickleball 4-5 times a week. These are the 4th brand that I have tried, and they are my favorite! My foot normally moves around in the shoe as I play but not DAPS. Love them!
Didn’t fit well. I tried to get a refund and I have not heard back from anyone. Very
Seriously these are my favorite pair of shoes. It's obvious the DAPS guys know their sneakers!
I have the all whites and I wear them everywhere. They feel amazing and supportive on the pickleball court. They feel great at the gym - especially on leg days. And they also look awesome when I'm walking around in everyday life.
I usually don't look good in shoes when I wear shorts but these look great.
I ordered these shoes and went with your recommendation of sizing up. They are a comfortable shoe but they are to big. I reached out to the company about doing and exchange and I've heard nothing back. This are very expensive shoes for them not to fit . I would love to have the right size. But again. No one from the company has reached out. Your customer service stinks and now I'm stuck with a shoe I cannot wear. I hope you see this and make it right.
Great quality shoes, very sturdy construction. After a prolonged foot injury due to wearing incorrect shoes, I returned to pickleball and these shoes offer solid support for my ankle. I have inserted my custom orthotics and feel very confident on the court. I have now purchased a second pair for daily wear. Bonus - they look very smart.
I really love the shoe itself but after wearing it for a while it It’s starting to get larger. I did return the original size 6.5 thinking it was too small but now thinking it would have been the right size after wearing it.
Absolutely love them. I’ve found my go to pickleball shoe.
Absolutely love these shoes. I wear them just aa much off the court as I do on and that’s because I love the look of them so much.
Perfect Pickleball Shoes
I wish I had these the last 20 years! Stylish, comfy and durable. Thank you for making the best shoes on the market.
So impressed with good my feet felt after playing. Usually very tired but not with these shoes. The energy return is significant. Very impressive.
AMAZING shoes!! Not only were they incredibly comfortable right out of the box but the INSOLES help your feet stick like I've never felt before - it's like magic glue!! And my feet/body sweats A LOT, so after a few hours outside in florida, I'm dripping which to other shoes can cause some issues with your footwork - NOT THESE!!! Absolutely my go to shoes from now on 🤘🏻🥒 Noizy Pickleball approved!
Super comfortable! Have wore them a couple times and no issues. Would buy again for sure.
I took a leap of faith and tried these out (with the knowledge that I could return if needed). I was super happy! Incredibly stable and agile. Love the non-slip soles. Not crazy about the style (they look like old-man shoes). But I'm not buying these to play in Wimbledon or go to the Met Gala.
BTW, I bought seven pairs of shoes and these are 2 of the 7 that I kept!
Cute shoes, have to return because they were too small. Ordered my normal 7.5 and 7. Will get the size 8.
Narrow toe box-would like a little wider.
Cute shoe
Best shoe ever for the game. The ONLY star deduction is for the color ways…too much white. It dirties really fast. Need black. Once I get my hands on a black pair, I will give 5 stars.
I love them. Great fit very solid on court. I like the Blumaka insoles , really grippy and make me feel grounded. My wives were to narrow for her feet
The insole's grip is absolutely insane-- due to it being made out of what seems like recycled rubber of some kind. It caused the inner part of my foot to chaff and blister. Otherwise, the shoe fits really well. The wide toe box was exactly what I needed, and the bottom of the shoe is incredibly stable and grippy.
